Background

Minna No Anime is a club oriented around Japanese animation. Some call it cartoon, others call it Japimation; it is all one and the same. Here at Cal Poly, we show all kinds of anime: drama, romance, action, science fiction, and comedy. The club itself is twenty years old! We hope that it will continue its rich tradition and stay around for many years to come.

Meetings are held on campus in the Business building (03-213) every Saturday from 5-10pm. Check the schedule for more details.

Membership

What makes Minna No Anime work? Its members of course. It is because of member support that Minna No Anime is able to provide the quality programs that are shown each week.

To become a member, just speak with an officer during a meeting. There will also be opportunities at the begining of each year for everyone to establish or renew their membership. Membership fees are $5.00 per year or $2.00 per quarter.

Membership provides discounts to most everything Minna No Anime provides (e.g. t-shirts), is required for access to the Minna No Anime video library to win any prizes from Minna No Anime contests and to run for officer positions.
